Zucchini Cookies

i made a batch of these this afternoon and they were quite a hit with the whole family!  the best part is they are definitely healthier than the typical chocolate chip cookie-- but, i have to make sure to give some away before i eat the entire tray!

1/2 cup butter, softened.
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 cup white flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup zucchini, (i used my magic bullet to puree it- you can grate it too)
2 cup chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350, spray cookie sheets with non stick spray.

2. Cream butter and sugar together

3. Add egg, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and flour into the butter mixture, mix well

5. Stir in zucchini

6. Fold in chocolate chips

7. Drop by tablespoons, about 12 cookies per cookie sheet. 

8. Bake 15-18 min until golden brown. Do not over bake.

*after you make the batter, it may be a little runny due to the wetness of the pureed zucchini.  i put mine in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to harden a bit.

*next time i am going to try using brown sugar instead of white to get a different kind of sweet in them.
